«Un taxi malva» is a novel by Michel Déon, published by Ultramar in paperback (270 pages, in Spanish).
A writer whose name is never revealed goes into exile in rural Ireland to drown a secret sorrow; nature is his refuge, but soon he is surrounded by ambiguous characters, legends and a ghost taxi. Between the rain and the dunes, an intense love story with the country and its people takes shape.
This 1980 edition includes the translation by Silvina Bullrich. The French original, «Un taxi mauve», was published in 1973 and received the Grand Prix du Roman de l'Académie française.
